Well, if the seller spent more time on eWillys, he would see more original, less unlatered CJ-3Bs!  That aside, Rich spotted this solid looking flattie that could use some light body work.

“This is the most original and unaltered CJ3B I have ever seen. We bought it to laser scan and Faro Arm track the body, to create a digital model for a special project. So now that we are done, I am ready to sell this little vintage patina jewel to the next guy to enjoy. It has sat in our warehouse for the last year, doing nothing. We inspected and serviced it lightly. You may want to comb through it before a major outing. We made sure it stops, steers and runs well. It is 100% original. Engine is super smooth, and super simple. 35K original miles. Original paint and markings, even the original wood windshield frame perches are still there! No rust, a few bumps and bruises, but an exceptional virgin CJ. Thanks for looking! JW

UPDATE:  SOLD. Was listed at $2000.  It sold quickly.

This looks in good shape.

“I have owned this jeep for over 20 years, and never drove it. I bought the jeep with a blown engine, and had the transmission and transfer case totally rebuilt, and I also rebuilt the engine starting with the block. I had the block magna-fluxed and found out that one cylender had to be sleeved, so we had it done. New crank, cam shaft, piston and rings, also had the valves done and the head checked and rebuilt. The flywheel was also turned. I put the short block together, and that is where I stopped.

The front part of the frame was sandblasted, but the whole frame was cleaned and painted. The The body was also worked on, any rust was cut out and new metal welded in. There is no body putty on the body, I have photos of the work we did to the body at each step. I have all of the parts painted including all the headlight parts, radiator and shroud. The windshield frame is painted black, and I have the rubber seal for the windshield. Some of the windshield hinge parts have not been painted, but all the parts were sandblasted, and coated with a primer that you can sand to remove any imperfections. The photos show the dust that is on the jeep and seats, but the body and paint are like new. We welded shut all the holes for the soft top snaps and such, I did not plan on installing a roof. This was going to be a sunny day vehicle!

I bought the seats from a parts dealer and had them re-upholstered. The light color you see on the seats is dust, not mold. The seats will clean up perfect.

I have all of the engine parts, and diagrams that I drew so I could remember how to re-install all the wiring. The carb has not been re-built.

I thought about parting this jeep out, but it would be a shame if it were never completed (I was so close!).”

There looks like some value here.

“I have a 1953 Willys CJ3B project for sale. 2 transmissions and a flathead 4 cylinder “Hurricane” motor on a stand. It currently has a Chevy 350 mounted out of an early 70’s truck. Not able to finish. Let me be clear that this is a project and cannot be driven home, you will need to bring a trailer. I do not have the title, I have a bill of sale and the plates that were on it. Asking $700 or best reasonable offer. Great restoration project or for parts. Will not separate, all needs to go together. I need this out of my garage.”
